Formula 1 returns to the United States for the first time in two years having las💃t raced at the Circuit of the Americas in 2019.&n🦹bsp;

We arrive at COTA with Max Verstappen back in the le🧸ad of the drivers' championship after finishing 𝐆second in Turkey.

Lewis Hamilton has ground to make 📖up in the title race but he has a fantastic record in Austin, winning on five previous occasions - 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas𒆙 is in fine form, winning the last race at Istanbul Park, and he's the las🐈t driver to win the US Grand Prix.

Mercedes is expected to have the advantage over Rꦓed Bull once again, with conditions expected to🍃 remain dry throughout the weekend.

The track surface and the bumps are expected to be a key talking point this weekend after a number of MotoGP riders were critical of the circꦆuit when they ra♍ced at COTA a few weeks ago.
